#it literally sounds so casual

[digirainebow]

*grabbing you by the shoulders and shaking you* ya gotta listen to me you're not listening to me. rhyming a word with that exact same word in a line of a song is not inherently bad writing or poor construction. people simply do not utilize inflection enough when doing so. if you emphasize the correct part in the second line it can actually be incredibly satisfying. which is also why repeating the same line over and over in a row can be viewed as either lazy or a crescendo depending on the tone with which it is executed. being a theater kid is not always cringe you can act a little bit in your pop songs you can emote and stress certain words to your advantage like a real sentence. now say it with me kid! i can rhyme like with like! its okay its alright!

#digi discusses #this is such a wild example but 'kick it in the FRONT seat (comma) kick it in the BACK seat' from my beloved rebecca black's friday #is such a good same word rhyme. idc if people still think that song is cringe. that line works because of how its stressed #it literally sounds so casual #also ummm swimming in your feelings by haven (? i dont know who they are i just like the song) has #'it makes me wanna drink (comma) and i don't even drink!' is a bit clumsy because the 2nd half is sung almost exactly the same as the 1st #but the added slight exclamation at the end is appreciated #and lol theater kid joke but genuinely atrocious same word rhyming ive heard is mean girls musical. they dont always nail inflection either #ash said he wanted to hear my rants so here we go #THIS BOOSTED ANXIETY AND INSOMNIA REALLY HAVE MY BRAIN ON OVER DRIVE HUH.

can't believe people are still out here accusing real ass people of queerbaiting. at this point just admit you like forcing people to come out before they're ready because that's what the result of this continues to be. coming out to anyone isn't an obligation for any queer person and people shouldn't have to alter their behavior or personality or presentation just because you personally think they're cishet. that is literally your own personal problem to work on. keep it to yourself

#anyway i can't believe i actually saw - in my pride month - someone accusing onlyoneof of queerbaiting #and using gayness for 'clout' like. 1) if any of them actually came out it would probably end their careers. casually #like why do kpop fans constantly forget that queerness isnt a globally accepted thing #2) the fact that they even do these gay storylines in their mvs is insane to me and they already got so much hate for it #like literally what clout are you talking about. this was honestly a risky thing for them to do #and the only reason it paid off at all is bc they have a pretty big supportive international fan base #but otherwise libido literally could've been the end of it for all of them #3) despite getting straight-up hate instead of pretending like it didnt happen and trying to just move on they doubled down #like idk how ooo of all groups is getting ridiculed by gay people like you are sooo online like #meet a gay person from a different cultural background than yours im begging you #you can't say that gay people have to come out without compromising our autonomy #you literally sound like a homophobe forcing us to be categorized and this is why this mindset is not fucking safe #im talking again

'I'm the X' is a banger but let's be real for a second Mr. Spock

#'I'm ready' is also a bop #Christine: Hey I'm gonna take a job opportunity so I'll be away for- #Spock: I will never love again...I can't believe she didn't take our relationship seriously. Not half as seriously as I did...this #is what I get for trusting someone I suppose. My fault. I won't make that mistake again v_v #<- Literally Engaged #saw some people saying Christine is a bitch for 'doing this to' Spock. Which Spock?? The Spock that's engaged????? #Unless he and T'Pring officially broke up in an episode I didn't watch prior to this then Christine could have broken up with him via #a brick through his bedroom window and I still wouldn't be upset on his behalf #bee doodles #EHEHEHHE but it's so funny...I'm the X literally is aesthetically a villain song. Sit DOWN Mr Spock!!!! <3 #Spock: Convinced myself we shared the same feelings...I won't make that mistake again... #Spock when has Christine 'let's keep this secret and casual' ever made you think that?? #chrisit*ne/sp*ck is so goofy and so messy HEHEHE wha t are they DOING #anyway please listen to I'm the X by Spock bc it literally sounds like he's about to take over an empire or something #also I'm Ready for if you just wanna have a lil fun <3 #also idk what happened in the season finale I didnt watch it and I won't watch it - something about war v_v #I drew this after watching rhapsody and so thats where I'm drawing from #someone keep Mr Spock off reddit if he finds r/niceguys he's gonna get radicalized

Using this as an audio reference for the posts I'm making, but to summarize:

Yuri starts out mad.

Yuri tries to calm himself down with a deep breath to ask for details instead of going through it angry.

Flynn doesn't say "like a good knight" in the sense of putting himself down. He simply says "as a knight" (the tl here doesn't use that, but with that included it's basically along the lines of "even though I had doubts, as a knight, I was determined to follow my orders").

Once Yuri has answers he calms down significantly.

Yuri uses " 'ttaku", which is a shortened down version of "mattaku" (Yuri often shortens words and speaks very casually), which in this particular situation basically would mean "geez", or "good grief". In this manner, it's expressive of exasperation/frustration/etc.

Yuri never mentions that "Flynn told him what to do" like the dub does (because in fact Flynn did not ever tell Yuri what to do. He only gave Sodia and his other knights orders. He expressed his own desire to take responsibility, but never told Yuri and his friends what to do).

At this point you can tell the anger has gone out of him and that he's calmed down, now that Flynn is approaching this with admission and responsibility.

Sodia is asking that Flynn returns as soon as possible (I believe this was a general translation error).

Flynn's thank you to Yuri is tonally much more heartfelt.

Yuri's response and gratefulness at Flynn coming back to himself is tonally much more heartfelt, relieved and sincere.

#GTF Vesperia Clips #basically the dub version is littered with errors /and/ your regular resident angry dub Yuri #just to be clear on mattaku it can also mean ''completely'' ''totally'' ''seriously'' etc. it depends on the context #''yare yare'' is also used for ''geez'' and ''good grief'' but in a more sarcastic/casual way #''mattaku'' or in this case '' 'ttaku'' is more of a quiet expression of exasperation rather than smth you'd yell/shout when aggravated #it CAN sometimes be used like damn as a minor expletive but tbh I personally I wouldn't put it in this situation #bc his aggravation is lessening and they're getting to the point so I'd argue it's more just exhausted of the whole thing #but the dub took it a step further and used it as fuel against Flynn as they do mcfuckin' do #I'd say it's more ''damn it'' at the whole situation bc there's absolutely no reason at this point to say ''damn it Flynn'' #esp bc that led into the dub having Yuri go at him accusing him of telling them what to do when he... literally did not #and did not even imply he was going to. it was just pulled from their asses and/bc Yuri never even said Flynn's name there #it's stuff like this where they add remove and change things always in stark opposite of Flynn's favor that riles me up :/ #what I mean is that the dub changed Yuri's overall exasperation into smth accusatory when rly Yuri is like #stop trying to do this by yourself. it was never about oh woe is me how dare you tell us what to do #if he was directing a ''damn it'' at Flynn it STILL would not be bc ''he told them what to do'' #it would STILL BE because Flynn was trying to take this responsibility fully onto himself #it's so irritating bc the dub will be spot on right on point with everything but then AS SOON as it's abt Flynn it's like #they start messing around with things and the tl is changed and yadda yadda until around late arc 2 #it like lowkey comes across as enemy to ally instead of ally with a whole character arc #and the reason I legit feel like they did it on purpose is BECAUSE they can obviously tl correctly based on other areas of the game #but when Flynn is involved they tweak things if not just outright change the context (remember my Nordopolica post? yeahhhh) #how is that not on purpose? how is it that everything can be spot on for a chunk all at once #but then a certain char shows up and it's repeatedly inaccurate? repeatedly geared in a negative light that originally didn't even EXIST? #and then ofc they almost always use Yuri himself to reflect that negativity against Flynn which is a WHOLE other story/issue for me #it's like... say I wrote a neutral statement. someone comes along and tls with negative sounding additions. it's sort of like that #I'm not that good at explaining things/how I feel abt things but yeah I hope that makes sense #it's just like... I KNOW they can tl spot on so when I keep seeing them stick in all these things with/against Flynn it upsets me sm #it feels like they tl normally and then see Flynn and go oh hold on let's change that bc it's Flynn #and that's why it's so frustrating for me :/

Sorry, had to take a 5 day break from my Doctor Who hyperfixation because it got too strong especially after going to Megacon and I got a little overwhelmed, as one does with hyperfixations, but now I am ready to fully jump in again <3

#this sounds like a sincere emotional post #but it's actually supposed to be funny haha because with a lot of hyperfixations i do get to a poimt where i just get overwhelmed and have #to literally take a break from it (so no watching it or talking or posting about it a lot and also trying not to think of it so much) and i #make myself focus on other stuff (like shows i just casually watch or art or something) #and then i when i am chill again i can go on hyperfixating as i normally do #kind of like when your phone gets super hot because you used it so much and you have to put it away for a bit to let it cool down again #(tho that only really happened with my old phone but still) #anyways #doctor who #lea's random thoughts

[magentagalaxies]

one thing you'll notice if you've ever done structured improv comedy with multiple separate groups of people is that everyone will have 100 different names for the exact same warmup and they're all convinced their name for it is the true name

#so many examples but the wildest one is college improv troupes casually being like ''yeah we should do oceanfuck'' and me being like what??? #and then finding out it's literally just ''sound in motion'' but they act just as bewildered as i am when i call it that name #or the game ''mind meld'' which my professor insisted was called ''michael douglass'' despite having nothing to do with the actor #but she ALSO had a game she called mind meld which was nothing like my version of mind meld #and again i'm not saying my name for all of these games is correct either they're just what i learned them as #i just find it very funny that there's so much variation when it's like. these are all the same game where did this come from

[sweetbitterjake]

i would die on a hill defending jake from sweetbitter. not a single person in his life actually cared about him. actual him, not an idea of him.

#sweetbitter #jake sweetbitter #tom sturridge #starz #bartender #he has been abused all of his life #does that not warrant empathy #he is literally pimped out as some kind of “bad boy sex dream #does that excuse his casual cruelty? #no #did he deserve better? #he did #arguing that he lead tess on makes it sound like you owe people something if you ever give them attention #a not so friendly reminder that tess found out jake had been abused since the age of 8 and promptly sat to have champagne with his abuser #i will never stop thinking about him #he has no freedom #no life of his own #all his finance and his job and his friends are all linked back to simone #he can’t even acknowledge his anger towards simone out of fear of losing another mother figure

Encore

19. I wanna be yours (Matt and backup sang and played I wanna be yours (second verse)while Alex sang STAR TREATMENT (first verse)/ thank you thank you very much) (for a second we had “Miles” there)(the Glastonbury special surprise; also genius move to reclaim IWBY from TikTok by hijacking it with TBHC)

A video of that beautiful medley

“Who are you gonna call the Martini police the who?”

20. I bet you look good on the dance floor (Matt having mic problems and some vocal ones aswell(sounded like a scratchy throat))

21. R U MINE?

I mean I know it’s basically literally their normal concert playlist apart from that I wanna be yours/ star treatment medley (which was out of this world 🌚;)) but I still loved it apart from that heartbreak with 505 cause honestly don’t care what they play I’m still loving it and having a blast, great tunes great vocals an amazing night spent in front of the laptop screaming along (what if they had planned a different set list (in 2013 Alex said “that’s what we’re gonna do tonight everyone. we are gonna play some new shit. We’re gonna play some old shit. We are gonna play some things that are just Glastonbury specials, do you know what I’m saying”) but due to Alex falling sick they didn’t have time to practice so they settled for their usual setlist?) (genuinely feel sorry for Elton John and his humongous set cause i doubt that anybody can scream along on Sunday still)

And I love how all the real fans can easily agree that it was a fantastic gig while the TikTok fans and dark fruit lovers are whining in their mum’s basement how they didn’t just play do I wanna know and snap out of it in 10 different versions and how dare Alex that his voice and taste in music evolved and that they didn’t try and emulate the phenomenal, seminal career changing Glasto 2013 🤣🤣

Opening

Do I wanna know

Mardy Bum via BBCradio1

I bet you look good on the dance floor

The BBC intern having some fun ( he’s gonna get tacos on the well reviewed taqueria of course)

WARNING !! do not look at the comments 🤢 you don’t wanna see that shitshow that some ‘fans’ pull but I guess some people just can’t be satisfied cause their own lives are so shit that they have to lash out at whoever is available

Rock band Arctic Monkeys’ headline set on Friday night was watched by an average of 1.5million viewers on BBC One.

[hella1975]

for a popular band i dont see nearly enough people freaking the fuck out about the lumineers on here! i have to do everything my damn self! anyway listen to their album III in order WITH the music videos and maybe you'll feel significantly worse about everything ever

#every time one of the songs from this album came on in the car id so casually go to boom like 'oh so this one is about ___' #and it's just an album about a dysfunctional family. like that is literally the plot of the album. they r called the sparks #it starts with donna and follows her alcoholic daughter who starts the abuse (it's technically started by donna but the album doesnt #focus on her so it 'starts' with gloria) #and how her addiction and abuse bleeds into her son who becomes a gambler and how his son then turns out etc etc #all to the most boptastic sounds and vocals you ever heard #like oh my fucking god the way they released this album was SUCH an experience #because it was done in three parts (gloria to her son jimmy to his son junior respectively) #so you had to like. wait for the rest of the album with each part and each part added a generation to what you knew from the beginning #was going to be tragic like you know from donna's song at the very start when it's said 'you hate the name junior' #that the rot will travel all the way down to junior's generation #they're doomed from the start. they're a family. they tried. they failed #and also 'leader of the landslide' as a song alone is batshit insane and one of my favourite songs ever #but as an expression on generational trauma? HOLY SHIT? #like looking at the person who started the trauma and caused this constant awful cycle #and instead of saying all those clinical overused words instead calling them THE LEADER OF THE LANDSLIDE #LIKE YEAH ACTUALLY? THEY GOT BURIED TOO BUT THEY FUCKING STARTED IT #AND WE'RE ALL CRAWLING THROUHG THE DIRT BECAUSE OF IT JUST TRYING TO FIND OUR FEET #IN THE WAKE OF THIS DISASTER THAT YOU CAUSED. YOU LEAD US HERE #going insane #the lumineers #'why r u talking about this album specifically when u heavily implied to aiaia about writing a touya fic' shhhhhhhh

[valodia]

Real thing somebody said IRL today "the christmas tree in itself is from pagan culture so it doesnt count as religious"

#lodia sayings #just one of the casual ways i feel dismissed in everyday life. #like. #this is like 75% of why im so aggressive to xtianity its just forced down my throat and trying to desperately include me as a white person #everyone like ohh obviously youre participating into this xtian tradition etc how are you celebrating etc #im allergic #it was xmas time recently as everybody is held at gunpoint to know. #and i know some ppl when i say they dont celebrate they say like oh me either really i dont care but i do it for my children or family etc #and im like not me i actively will not engage even if my family rlly wanted me to in fact thats how ive been since a teenager #and i took a second to think about it and i was like wait thats a really stubborn stance that i have for seemingly no rational reason #like if it means a lot to somebody i care about it would cost nothing to indulge them and be nice about it #and i realized it stems from an internalized belief that people are not willing to accomodate me and i think its bc i dont matter to them #which is like. not necessarily true but i cant help but feel that way #and i was like hmmm hm. well ive probably been hurtful about this in the past if i think about it. #so ig if im ever faced with the situation again ill have to do better #but anyway. #sorry i use the tags in the way that the post is supposed to be for. #edit: i realized w my tags it sounds like i think this person is wrong and i believe that xmas tree is xtian #its not what i meant i meant that being pagan is literally religious. as a pagan that offends me lol

#feel motivation for writing coming back a teensy bit #i cannot give up writing until glimpse of us is in the either lmao 😤 #not that i was going to but #have not been in a writing mode lately #do u guys know that song #let go by ark patrol #the instrumental just sounds like the plot #WRITERS KNOW WHAT I MEAN LMAO #but it kinda put me in the moooodddd #i cannot wait to share this fic #i really hope you guys like it as much as i do #trying my hand at slowburn #a gradual build of emotion #you know when you leave the movies #or read a book that just #makes you feel suffocated w emotion #thats how i want this to feel #part of the reason why i write one shots is bc im not good with filler #or like casual scenes that don’t have plot significance but build the characters #but this fic literally requires that so #will be a nice challenge !! #idk what im saying lmao but #love you all #i hope you like it #if you don’t #that’s cool too lol

i like this section too it is so special to me that they are often saying things for the specific purpose of being funny to each other and i think about it often because 1. typical sitcom-and-other-modern-comedy-style dialogue where characters are just Saying Things For The Purpose Of Being Funny To The Audience really gets on my nerves, but the concept of comedy characters who are, in universe, being funny on purpose for their own entertainment is fantastic and works much better. and 2. it is good context for something like 70-80% of the things they say. they are not necessarily being genuine (though they are also not necessarily making things up. they are insane people with insane lives) they’re looking for the funniest thing they can say that will also leave an opening for the other one to keep the joke going. they are the world’s most extreme case of Committed To The Bit. they are playing comedy roles and considering when it’s funnier for them to play dumb or play smart or act insane or act normal. this is their primary method of communication with each other. they make jokes at each other and then every once in a while they say things they actually mean and are proper statements instead of For The Bit. anyway i’m a fan

#i love every description in the series bible of the way sam talks #bc i sometimes talk so much like him you might think thats where i picked it up #but ive always been like that #i dont talk like that literally all the time but #sometimes i have to intentionally tone myself down #so i dont sound like im trying to turn casual conversation #into a douglas adams or terry pratchett book. #basilposting #snmposting

[dimasdelis]

what’s a subtle way to tell someone ”heads up that person you’re friends with is a covert narcissist and they’re grooming you” because i feel sick to my stomach doing nothing

#i thought they’d notice the constant selfvictimization and false humility by now #literally seeing my childhood repeated i feel like i need to say something even though i know it will sound intrusive and dicky #the lovebombing the attention seeking the endless self pity its a ticking timebomb #im so worried about a casual acquaintance i know it isn’t my place #but i have never been good at shutting up #robinposts #tw emotional abuse #being around people like that will break you down slowly and you don’t realize until it’s too late

[caluski]

I'm ngl this is like. Dream life if I'm being honest.

#They make commissions sound so easy and casual.... I mean not the art itself bc the bread is beautifully drawn. #But like... Here's three dollars. I want bread. Ok here's bread #I would literally fucking die for things to be this simple. I don't want the shame and worrying if it's good enough... #pogaduchy
